## Overview

The AcuRite Digital Wireless Fridge and Freezer Thermometer features two wireless sensors that transmit precise temperature readings to a large LCD display. Designed for home or restaurant use, it offers customizable alarms to alert you of unsafe temperature changes, helping prevent food spoilage. With versatile mounting options, max/min temperature tracking, and a long battery life, it ensures reliable, real-time monitoring of your fridge and freezer environments for ultimate food safety and peace of mind.

## Description

This dual-purpose freezer and fridge thermometer monitors internal “room” temperature of the inside of your fridge or freezer and sends it a wireless remote temperature sensor gauge! Two wireless, remote thermometer sensors communicate to the door- or wall-mounted digital display gauge, which provides alerts when freezer or refrigerator temperatures are out of your customized, preferred range. This perfect-for-a-restaurant thermometer helps you store foods at safe temperatures to prevent food spoilage and avoid related foodborne illnesses. The wireless thermometers provide data to the digital thermometer display to show refrigerator and freezer temperatures and record highs and lows for each environment, as recorded by each remote temperature sensor. The programmable alarm notifies you audibly and visually when temperatures rise above or fall below your set minimum or maximum. The digital thermometer display has an integrated magnet and keyhole for easy mounting, and it requires 2 AAA batteries (not included). Each remote temperature sensor requires 2 AA alkaline or lithium batteries (not included). Lithium batteries are recommended for use in sensors for temperatures below 4 degrees Fahrenheit (-20 degrees Celsius). By using this combination of temperature gauge and freezer monitor, you will rest assured that your family or restaurant’s food is stored safely and appropriately. A perfect gift idea for Father’s Day, Christmas, or birthdays, this digital refrigerator and freezer thermometer comes with a one-year limited warranty.

Review: Works great and very simple to use - UPDATE !/16/25: Still working great! But I just wanted to tell you that I bought a second unit for the bedrooms so we can check temps from the living room. You can't use a second set because it picks up the sensors in the fridge and freezer, even though I have batteries in the two new sending units which are I the bedrooms. So I have been using the monitor in the living room to keep an eye on the fridge temps. But now one of my friends has had a few power outages, so I'm going to give the second set to her. I am so glad I got this item. Now I can track the temp of my fridge and freezer without opening the doors! It was a simple matter of inserting batteries and placing the sensors in place. I have the monitor on the side of my fridge via the 4 magnets, but you could also hang it on a nail with the hole on the back. The sensors take 2 AA batteries each, and the monitor takes 2 AAA batteries. I used regular alkaline batteries (Duracell). I opted to not pay for expensive lithium batteries. So far, I have had no problems. I had a power outage in the recent past, and would have liked to know what the inside temps were in my fridge (without opening the doors), so I would know when to go get ice. The suction cups did not work, the sensor units fell within seconds of placement. I did not clean the wall prior to placement, so that could be a factor, but I would rather have them sit on the shelf anyway. On the back of the monitor, you have a switch for Celcius or Fahrenheit, as well as a reset switch. I do not use the alarms. You have to program the alarm settings if you want to use them. You can reset the hi and low reading by simply pushing the "clr" button. *** UPDATE 9-26-17 *** I had a 10 hours power outage about a month ago. This acurite unit performed FLAWLESSLY! I monitored the fridge and freezer temps constantly, and when the temps got too low, we went out and got bags of ice so we could put all the food in an ice chest. Then I put the sending unit in the middle of the ice chest to make sure the temp remained low enough. I can't love this item anymore than I do right now! Worth every penny in my book. NOTE: I still have the same batteries in it, and they are still going strong. I do not use the alarm. But I do check the high and low temps every morning and then reset, and I check and reset at bedtime. My freezer temp ranges from -5 degrees (f) to 10 depending on how much we open the door. It does not seem to affect my Duracell alkaline batteries. Very happy I did not pay for lithium batteries. UPDATE 8-27-18: This unit is still going strong! I recently replaced all original batteries (at about 8 months in), even though they were working just fine. I wanted to make sure the batteries did not die when I had a power outage. This is the best unit. UPDATE: 11-15-23 Still going strong! I can't tell you how many times this unit has helped during power outages. We don't turn the generator on until the fridge hits 40 degrees. We are constantly checking the temps day and night for piece of mind. I'm going to buy another set to measure for cold drafts in the bedroom. Two points of reference, one display. I'm amazed how many years we have had this, and it still works.
Review: Excellent & reliable - Before I knew my fridge was having an issue, this temperature reader gave me a leading headsup that something was beginning to go wrong with my new fridge, so I wasn't completely taken by surprise and was prepared and called the technician before the fridge totally went out. Technician came out and repaired my fridge one day before the warranty went out. And I lost no food. Very lucky. This temp reader saved all the food in our fridge. And caught a developing problem before the warranty expired. The device is well worth the money. It's also peace of mind, after traveling, to know if you are coming home to safe food. I originally bought it because I was concerned about long-term power-outages while I was on vacation without knowing if the food reached an unsafe temperature. (You can do a water test, to determine if your power was out for a long time, by using your freezer to do this, but when traveling red-eye flights, I generally am not well-rested enough to remember to do that, nor are my kids & spouse. I eat before I think when hungry & tired esp after a trip, so I wouldn't know food was at an unsafe temp until after I've eaten. I had a very old refrigerator whose door seal was so old that when we went out of town and turned the house heater off, the fridge seal became too brittle from the cold air in the house that it couldn't keep the fridge door closed. The fridge was cold at night when we arrived. If I had this temp reader at that time, I would have known if the food reached an unsafe temperature. I ended up tossing a lot of food out "just to be safe" because I didn't know what the worse case min temp was.so this device would prevent that issue. It's also has an audio alarm to alert you if the fridge rises to an unsafe temperature (the audio is optional and you can turn it off). It also tells you the highest max temp (I.e. warmest temp) your fridge has reached since you last pressed the clear button (which I always do before a trip.) Installation tip: When installing or replacing batteries, place the devices next to each other then place the batteries into the larger device (the one with the display) first before placing batteries into the small sensors, so the sensors synch properly to the display device. The sensors will slowly blink a red light (around 2 blinks in 30 seconds?) when they are trying to synch to the display (you'll know it's synched up when you finally see a temp show on the display.) It's an excellent temp reader.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Has anyone used 2 of these units (4 sensors) with refrigerator/freezer combos that are less than 30 ft apart?  Do they operate on different freq?**
A: The correct reply is Yes,  the display and the Sensor are "paired" like Blue Tooth devices.  BUT,  now for the bad news.  Each time you replace the battery in ANY part of the system you need to perform the operation of "pairing" over again!!!Steps:1)  Take all three parts,  Display and both sensors and go away from the "other" sensors.2)  Put fresh a battery in the Display and watch for NO Updates, takes a few moments to verify.3)  Put a battery in each the sensors and watch for the "First" update to be correct.4) Leave these  batteries in and walk back to the location needed.Now the new set will have a unique code and not read the "other" sensors values.The code is 32,000 values so yoiu can have MANY of these in the same place.NOTE:  if you want a "copy" to be seen by Two Displays just PAIR both at the same place and time.  They "Learn" from the first data point.

**Q: What kind of recording capabilities does it have? I need to know how warm freezer became to avoid refreezing, when I am elsewhere.**
A: it just lets you set an alarm to what ever temp you want to know I don't see a recording of it if I come by  later. the best thing on the freezer is a glass of ice cubes in the freezer, it they ever turn to a block your freezer went hot for too long. that's the best and cheapest way I know.

**Q: When fridge/freezer goes out of temp setting does alarm keep sounding until acknowledged ?**
A: When the alarm goes off, it gets annoying after awhile, so we have pressed the alarm button within 5 minutes to turn it off.  I'm pretty sure it will sound until the temperature has returned within the set range or is turned off.  Just be sure to press the alarm button again when the temperature is within the range you set, to reactivate the alarm mode.

**Q: What is the wireless range on this item?**
A: I have mine set about 40 and 50 ft from receiver, both of which are transmitting through one exterior wall and 1 or 2 interior framed walls, with the receiver near mid point, and no problems after a couple of months.  As others stated, the update is not immediate, so give it a while for the initial reading.  Also, if you move the sensors, I found it helpful to take the batteries out of everything and start again - only takes a couple of minutes and gives some peace of mind.  I think without heavily insulated walls, the range is probably more but have no proof.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mostly good, but useless freezer alarms due to defrost cycle
*by D***N on November 16, 2024*

I bought two of these because I wanted to monitor three areas: 1) the fridge compartment of my refrigerator, 2) the freezer compartment of my refrigerator, and 3) a deep freeze located in my kitchen about 15 feet from the fridge. I bought the first thermometer about 18 months ago and added the second unit a month ago. Here's what worked well: - The temps are accurate enough based on comparing with a couple of analog thermometers I have, with only a degree or two difference here and there. - The alerts are simple to set. - The alarms are loud enough. I can barely hear them upstairs in my bedroom, but I can hear them. If I'm awake, I can hear them anywhere in my house. Here's what did not work well: - There is a conflict between the two base stations and the four remote units. I've deployed both freezer remotes plus a single fridge remote. The freezer remotes each paired with their respective base stations, but the fridge remote paired with both. Not a bit deal to me--the fridge remote on my deep freezer base station is just a duplicate of the fridge remote. But if you have two fridges with freezers, you might wind up running into issues keeping the devices separate. The biggest issue I have is the alarm setting for my fridge's freezer. My freezer has a defrost cycle that heats up the freezer compartment to around 16 degrees for a very short time before rapidly cooling back to -10 degrees or so. My understanding is that this behavior is normal, and the food stored in my freezer will not be affected due it it's being frozen solid and the short duration above 0 degrees. But this of course means that I can't set my freezer remote alarm to the 0 degrees the FDA recommends as a minimum freezer temperature. The best that I can do to take advantage of the freezer alarm is to set it for 16-ish degrees in case my freezer completely fails. Overall, I'm happy with these thermometers. They have worked reliably so far. In fact, this alarm notified me last month that my freezer was too warm. Turned out the defrost wasn't working and the coils were iced up. I don't see any way around the daily temperature spike due to my freezer's defrost cycle, so I can't blame this device for not being able to tell if operation is normal or not. Actually, what would be great would be a freezer whose thermostat is tied in to the defrost process so it would know what acceptable temps are during normal operation and during defrost cycle. It could then send appropriate alarms.
